Hi all,
I know that you are all excited about getting your tops, but my 12 years of experience in Intl. Supply Chain mangement & Sourcing & Logistics, says that you would be saving a TON of money by going ocean & doing it yourself. Yes, you are looking at 4-6 weeks going via ocean, but how many of you will be throwing your tops on in January?
Even if you decide you definitely want air frieght, you will still save a lot of money going via normal air freight & using a broker, rather than DHL/Fedex/Etc...
Of course, it is your money, so do whatever you want, I'm just trying to help you guys save some of it.
As to damages, that can happen on any shipping method, not just ocean. I deal with it every single day. It is just a part of the risk of shipping goods from Pakistan to the U.S. It is a pain, but as long as you insure the goods, you are still protected.
Best,
Abe
